StrategyRun Left. do you get hit?a. Yes = Run Leftierb. No = Keep running Left

don't really know weapon/armor for SnS, but just want to say bow is the easiest weapon to kill Rajang

Oddly enough, SnS and Hammer are the two weapons I find the easiest for Rajang.

For SnS, I'd recommend a poison or ice SnS, like the Frost Edge+ >>> Ice Fang SnS or Princess Rapier >>> Royal Rose SnS for poison.As for tactics, with a SnS you want to be as close to him as possible, but always run around him in a circle (generally run clockwise around him, which means you'd be going to your left.)After each of his attacks lands, use your leap attack to close the gap, give him two more solid hits, and then roll forward as he's about to face you / attack you. He'll normally never get a solid hit on you. If he does, make sure you have the proper healing items to eat on the go, since that's the strong point of SnS.

If you have a lot of trouble, don't be afraid to bring some traps along with some bombs.For armor, I'd suggest something suitable for an SnS, one such example would be Tigrex armor, quick-eating is a great skill for SnS, and the other skills presented by Tigrex are pretty good as well. You may also want to consider Narga armor, since your evasion will be much better with that set as opposed to the others. So if you're having trouble evading him, go for Narga armor.

For hammers, I'd suggest a hammer along the Diablos Hammer >>> Chaotic Order line, or Onslaught >>> Juggernaut line. If you're interested in getting horns, then go for Icy Impact >> Axion. You could also go for the Devil Masher >>> Iron Devil's Soul hammers that have paralyze attribute. It's always amusing getting Rajang paralyzed and smashing its face in. But you have to be persistent with weaker attacks to take advantage of it.

When fighting Rajang with a hammer, it's best to minimize your ability to get stunned in any way. To which I would suggest getting some sort of Blango armor or equivalent armor that gives you Quake Resistance. After that, you can get what ever you like along with the set. Evade or Evade Distance Inc, like from Narga armor, never hurt either. If you can get a set with both then you'd be stylin' against Rajang.

Generally, you'll want to circle Rajang just like you do with the SnS, but even closer, and generally with your charge-pound on the whole time. Which brings up another important point, you want mega juice. Plenty of mega juice. Normally, don't ever try to attack Rajang when it's facing you. But you'll want to get in some good triple-pounds on it while it's trying to turn around. Generally the final swing will always stagger it if it makes contact. Use that to your advantage to roll away before it has a chance to retaliate.

If you're interested in getting horns, then go for Icy Impact >> Axion.

I'm pretty sure you don't need ice for breaking his horns.the tail though. need ice to be broken (which is actually not worth it sometimes due to the really high stagger rate and the low damage the tail takes)

Yeah, I just suggested the element since it's weaker in general to it. But for hammers it's kinda useless.Element on a bow would be better frankly. I never really recommend using elemental hammers. Even the para one is more for lulz than for efficiency.

For armor, I'd suggest something suitable for an SnS, one such example would be Tigrex armor, quick-eating is a great skill for SnS, and the other skills presented by Tigrex are pretty good as well. You may also want to consider Narga armor, since your evasion will be much better with that set as opposed to the others. So if you're having trouble evading him, go for Narga armor.

Absolutely, status ailment attributes work best on weapons that deal many attacks, like DS, SnS, and LS. (Bows count too I guess...)

except there's no good status ailments DS except for poison.- the only paralysis DS is the dual thunder-paralysis which has a really low paralysis value. - there's no sleep DS, which is actually make sense since having a monster wake up because you make it sleep when using long combo like DD will wake it up immediatelywell, even Poison is not really that good to be prioritize over element (except for Epic quest and monster not that weak to element if you don't have higher raw DS). well, might be good for Gravios or you are too poor to get every element DS and just want a single all around DS

and there's actually a little use of ailments (again, other than poison) for bow user if they are solo. maybe only if you want to cut wyverns tail (which is actually not worth the trouble) and or sleep bombing

for SnS and LS, I agree that it will be good, especially for SnS that is called Melynx Tool G or something for multiplayer

I'd rock the hammer. There is a sweet spot where you can triple pound him if you get under him then sometimes it will knock him Down so you can triple pound his head. If you can repeat this proses it's the quickest way I find to break his horn so you can get the horns as a reward. Also you can pitfall trap him but only when he is enraged.

Did you figure out what attacks are hitting you the most? Can't really help unless I know where you're having trouble.

Um... the answer to that would be everything apart from electric beam and berserker punches

Be less greedy duh... Greed is one of the most deadly sin in monster hunter. You must be way too greedy if almost every single of Rajang's attack hits you while you can evade Plesioth attack >.>

Monster Hunter isn't a mindless whack and slash gameThere isn't a "right way" to kill X or Y but you know that you're doing it wrong when you get hit too often...

Zig Zag charge... This is why I told you to run Left instead of right. Rajang never jump to your Left for the first JumpSpin attack... this is why I told you to run Left. the hit box is a bit smaller in the left side. you can evade better in left side instead of getting hit with his huge hand in the right sideBerserker Punch... roll to his feet... or run to your left. it use his right hand first, so evading left will take care of the problemthere shouldn't be any more attack that can actually hit player other than that (or I'm simply forgot)

Um... the answer to that would be everything apart from electric beam and berserker punches

Well if that's all, then you're probably being too aggressive while fighting him. If you're facing him and he's facing you while you get hit by spin attack, then you need to rethink your positioning when you're close to him, generally you can get far enough away by rolling under his legs. But sometimes that's not the case, sometimes you don't have enough time.

That leaves... Backhop, body slam, and his rolling missile attack.I can understand the backhop one, even after my considerable amount of fights against him, I still get backhopped by him a lot, and it friggin' hurts. Generally it becomes less common to be hit by it if you attack from the correct angles from behind him. Usually more to the side is a safer bet.Body slam...? Eh, that one pretty much just screams that you didn't roll away quickly enough. :\ Rolling between his rear legs will put you in a safe spot from that attack, though you'll still get hit by the tremor probably.

The rolling missile attack? Well, that one also means you didn't roll away quickly enough. If he leaps backward when you're fighting him, at least half the time he's going to do that attack. So your best bet is to roll sideways, relevant to his current facing position. Generally rolling to the right at that point in time works the best. And, like many good things in life, you don't just roll once.
